In Wisconsin, the GOP has so successfully rigged state elections through gerrymandering that even when Dems get more votes, Republicans win more seats. In 2018, Republicans won 45% of the vote, but were awarded 64% of the seats.

Their strategy is being replicated across the U.S.

i know it's sketchy trying to figure if it's race-based or not. but the fact that it's clearly disenfranchising the majority should be enough.
